Detect label inconsistency in SpanTask (#183)

* Check for label consistency in span tasks.

* Relax label comparison to sub-/superset one.

* Fix set comparison.

* Update spacy_llm/tests/tasks/examples/ner_inconsistent.yml

Co-authored-by: Sofie Van Landeghem <[email protected]>

* Expand error message.

* Fix tests.

* Change exception to warning. Only discard invalid labels and examples containing only invalid labels.

* Fix test config error.

* Fix test config error.

* Incorporate feedback.

* Rename self._examples to self._prompt_examples.

* Fix non-REL test failures.

* Fix REL issue.
